A group of “God-fearing Americans” is pushing back against a plan to hold a satanic “black mass” for abortion rights at the Kansas State Capitol later this month.
Michael Stewart, the organizer of the “black mass,” told the Topeka Capital-Journal that the event was in response to lawmakers who “pander” to religious pro-life groups.
So it's not really a religious event? It's a political event targeting Christians and Christian elected officials?
Be informed, not mislead.
TFP Student Action, a project of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, is organizing a protest in Topeka on March 28 against The Satanic Grotto, which aims to hold a blasphemous parody of a Catholic Mass in order to "dedicate the grounds and our legislature to the glory of Satan.”
A TFP petition against the event quoted the organizers as saying, “Join us at the Topeka Capitol building in Kansas as we dedicate the grounds and our legislature to the glory of Satan. We will be performing rites to the Black Mass and indulging in sacrilegious blaspheme [sic]. God will fall, and Kansas will be embraced by the black flame of Lucifer."
The TFP action group put the following on its website:
We just found out about a Satanic Black Mass that will take place outside the Capitol building in Topeka, Kansas on March 28.
This is the highest platform Satanism has ever been given in this country. Having a Black Mass on Capitol Grounds is unprecedented in our country’s history.
According to the Satanists, “We will be performing rites to the Black Mass and indulging in sacrilegious blaspheme [sic]. God will fall and Kansas will be embraced by the black flame of Lucifer. Hail Satan.”
As faithful Catholics, it is our moral obligation to fight against this demonic sacrilege. Please use this short, secure form to add your name to this petition and demand Governor Laura Kelly immediately cancel the Black Mass!
The form says:
To: Laura Kelly, Governor of Kansas and Michael A. Padilla, Mayor of Topeka City,
With my whole heart and soul, I express full, complete, and vehement rejection of the satanic Black Mass scheduled at the Kansas State Capitol on March 28, 2025.
I urge you to cancel this event, which offends 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide, 426,000 Catholics in Kansas and countless more God-loving Americans. Sacrilege is simply NOT free speech.
Thank you for your kind and urgent attention.
Sincerely,
People are responding and signing the letter.
Let’s see if @GovLauraKelly and her @TheDemocrats in Kansas have learned anything since #2024 election.

So far, the petition has garnered over 83,000 signatures across four petition drives in an attempt to stop the event.
“The response has been overwhelmingly positive," Jon Paul Fabrizio, a spokesperson for TFP, told The Christian Post on Wednesday. "This outpouring of support shows that Americans still recognize blasphemy when they see it and are willing to stand up in defense of God’s honor."
The group plans to deliver the petitions in Topeka days before the event, “giving Governor [Laura] Kelly one last chance to cancel this abomination."
The Governor and the Mayor? Not so much.
Gov. Kelly has issued a statement acknowledging concerns about the event, saying that “I share those concerns” but also that her office cannot stop it.
“There are more constructive ways to protest and express disagreements without insulting or denigrating sacred religious symbols,” Kelly stated.
"As governor, I also have a duty to protect protesters’ constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression, regardless of how offensive or distasteful I might find the content to be. Since these rights are constitutionally protected, the Governor’s Office has limited authority to respond to such actions."
Instead, the governor announced that all events scheduled at the Statehouse would be moved outdoors to the grounds surrounding the capitol building and that “no protests will be allowed inside the Statehouse on March 28."
Calling the event “hideous and terrible,” Sen. Stephen Owens, R-Heston, also acknowledged, "Religious groups from various backgrounds come to the capitol on a regular basis to preach, pray and display. We cannot discriminate because we disagree."
“God is my King, and no satanic ritual will change that,” Owens wrote on March 9. “God is far stronger. His Peace and Glory will shine.”
The Satanists are resolute in their... "faith"?
Michael Stewart, the organizer of the “black mass,” told the Topeka Capital-Journal, "This is a specific response to our legislatures continuing to pander to groups like the Kansas Catholic Conference and to Kansans for Life, where they keep trying to come back and attack abortion rights, much less other rights."
So, it's not really a religious event; it's a political action taken to promote and expand abortion.
As a counterprotest, TFP has secured a permit for a rosary rally at the capitol’s south entrance on the same day as the planned satanic event, where they expect several hundred people to join them from as far as California, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
"We will be joined by God-fearing Americans from all over the country,” said Fabrizio. “This protest is not just about Kansas — this is a fight for the soul of America.”
When asked why the group specifically chose the Kansas state capitol for this event, Fabrizio said he sees it as a targeted assault.
"Kansas lies at the heart of America. Both geographically and morally. It has long been a bastion of common sense and Christian values. That is exactly why Satanists chose it," he said.
"They seek to provoke outrage and desecrate what is sacred, especially in places that still uphold moral order,” Fabrizio added. “This is a direct attempt to erode the spiritual foundation of our nation and normalize evil in the public square."
Takeaway
This is not the result of politics–abortion is celebrated as a sacrament in New York. This is a testament to the power of prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil.
"We could not be more proud of our current leader, Laurie, and her amazing team who have faced endless persecution and harassment over the years."
They said, "This mission really is about hearts and minds, and if we trust God, He will use us to end abortion anywhere."
When Planned Parenthood can’t keep the doors open in New York City WITH $750 million in taxpayer funding, just imagine how many abortion facilities will go out of business when the abortion giant loses its federal subsidy!
If God can close Planned Parenthood’s most iconic abortion facility, there’s absolutely no reason He won’t answer your prayers to close the abortion facility in your community.
There's no reason God should not use Satan's ploy in Kansas for something higher and holy.
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Bold. Be Faithful. Be Engaged. Be Prayerful.
